have to install samba on you Linux computer.samba is a software that allows you to connect a Linux computer to a Windows using NetBIOS to share folders and drives between both OS.almost every Linux distribution comes with samba, but if you don't have it, download from: http://www.samba.org/.
once u installed it , u can connect to your windows box using this command
smbclient -L \\COMPUTER -I 198.168.x.x <---- windows ip
by this u will be able to see the shared folders in the win box.
once u installed it , u can connect to your windows box using this command
smbclient -L \\COMPUTER -I 198.168.x.x <---- windows ip
by this u will be able to see the shared folders in the win box.

Or you can use smbmount (or mount -t smbfs) //path/to/shared/dierctory /local/mountpoint {any options here}
Notice that FORWARD slashes are used under *nix. Backslashes are used for an entirely different thing.
If you have entries in your /etc/hosts file, or a working local DNS server, you can use the machine name instead of IP for mounting remote directories.
Reference:
man smbmount
man mount
man smbclient
